How do I get more connected?
Our Sunday morning services meet at 9:00 and 10:45. KForce Children's Church and childcare is available for infants through 6th grade during the 10:45 service. The children's wing is located off of the foyer and is open 15 minutes before the service. Children typically go to their classrooms before the start of service and wait for their parents or guardian to pick them up at the end of the adult service. We also have Jr. High and Sr. High youth groups that meet every other Sunday morning. They go to their class after the adult worship. For more information about where the classrooms are located, just ask the person behind the information table in the foyer.

Is it hard to feel at home in a church your size?
Although over 300 people attend worship services, there are many opportunities during the week to join small groups and build relationships. In addition, we encourage people to get involved in the many ministry opportunities at the church. For more information, take a look at our Ministries page.
Do I have to dress up to come to church?
No. Come as you are!
What does Vineyard Church of Jackson do to help the community?
Lots of stuff! We support the work of My Father's House, an addiction recovery ministry in Jackson that maintains a high rate of success. In conjunction with My Father's House, we provide food to over a hundred families who are unable to meet their growing living expenses. We encourage people to participate in these and other outreaches.
A good place to start is in our church foyer and coffee bar area. Here you will be able to meet people, receive information on our church, sign a visitor's card (that we use only to record your visit) and receive a complimentary Vineyard music tape or CD that we have made exclusively for first-time newcomers.
At the end of each service you can meet some of the church leaders and other friendly people. You will find all kinds of information about the church and our activities, as well as be able to talk to the people who could answer your questions.
One of the best ways to get connected is just to JUMP IN! Go visit a small group study during the week, volunteer to serve in one of the many ministries, or participate in an upcoming activity. It is easier than you think to be part of the family!
